Pros: Running on my EVGA X58 board at rated speeds. 8-8-8-24 at 1600 with no issues whatsoever. All 6GB recognized by Vista 64-bit. VERY HAPPY with this purchase. Call me nerdy, but I like the heatsinks on these much better than the OCZ GOLD. Fits the color scheme of the EVGA X58 very nicely.
Cons: EVGA board doesn't support XMP yet. You can still adjust the heck out of the settings, but all manually. Not the memory's fault but just worth noting.
Overall Review: I was torn between Corsair Dominator, the OCZ Gold, and this. Dominator was about $40 more at the time, OCZ Gold was about $20 cheaper. I emailed OCZ and got responses back within minutes, literally. I had an entire 5 email long conversation within 30 minutes, and I was sold on OCZ. Officially a fan of thier tech-suppoert if they were willing to answer my stupid questions. Anyway, the guy told me this is essentially the OCZ GOLD set, with XMP timings and the different heatsinks. He also said (as well as thier website states) it's "optimized" for Core i7. Not sure what that means, but it hasn't given me any issues whatsoever.
